Environment Canada advises people to reduce their heat risk by scheduling outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day, drinking plenty of water, staying in a cool place. People are also reminded to not leave anyone — human or animal — inside a parked vehicle.

Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
